What is Trainerbot?

Playing ping pong with friends is incredibly fun. But some partners are too strong and unbeatable. Others are still learning and aren't fun to play with. Others are a good match, but they are not always around.

Introducing Trainerbot, it is the world's first smart ping pong robot that is fun to play with and can teach you how to play. You can program specific shots, hone your skills and simulate games via an all-in-one app.

Why Trainerbot?

How It Works?

Game On

Simulate any games with drills

With Trainerbot, you can program any kind of game or sequence of shots so you can have fun and improve. Ever wonder how the athlete on TV missed that shot? You can program that famous match and try it for yourself. It’s the ultimate practice drill!

Play at your level

Trainerbot is totally customizable. You can adjust the difficulty up or down so games keep you on your toes.

Play any kind of shots

Trainerbot shoots balls accurately to any part of the table. It accommodates any type of shot you want to work on - be they lobs, short shots, or smashes.

Play with your friends regardless of level difference

It's tough to find a perfect partner who can play a competitive game with you. With Trainerbot's multi-player mode, you can play with friends at different levels by programming varied sequences of shots.

Create your own trick shots

Do you play ping pong with someone you can almost - but not quite - beat? Does this friend have an array of tricky spin shots that give them the edge? Trainerbot is your secret weapon! You can program your opponent’s trick shots and secretly practice at home (they won’t stand a chance).

Take tutorials to the next level

In Video Learning Mode, you can watch a variety of ping pong tutorials, and then try out a corresponding pre-programmed session. Or, if you want to create your own video tutorial, simply link to your video on YouTube, program a shot sequence and share it with the Trainerbot community.

The App

Tech Spec

Funding

We’re hoping to raise $80K with our campaign. We have chosen our manufacturing partners, and are ready to go with production. The money raised will go towards tooling and sourcing the best quality materials. As avid backers ourselves, we feel very honored to be able to bring our project to life with the help of crowdfunding. We saw a need for an affordable ping pong robot that could be easily taken on the go, and really wanted to share it with the Kickstarter community, where so many big ideas become reality. We look forward to hearing your feedback and ideas on how we can make Trainerbot even better!
